initial situation

• Transport of small transport carriers, mesh boxes, Euro and industrial pallets
• Material delivery with front-end forklifts
• Forklift use: 30 operating hours per day
• Cost-intensive
• High traffic volume
• High levels of dirt in the factory halls
• Safety risk for employees
• Narrow aisles (2.5 m) in production

customer requirement

• increase in productivity
• Minimize empty runs
• cost savings
• Increase security
• Smooth production supply with components and materials

LKE solution

• Streamlining production supply using a forklift-free tugger train system
• Platform trolley type X, KLT shelf trolley, cargo liner
• Tugger trains are equipped with the virtual LKE coupling and drawbar system for optimum directional stability in narrow aisles.
• Four route trains operating simultaneously on five routes, while the next transport trains stand by
• Tractor: 4 tractors

result

• Discontinuation of pallet truck use
• Increased productivity, increased delivery frequency > consistent utilization > 2,000 containers are removed from storage and installed every day
• Time savings through precise delivery to employees
• Empty runs reduced by 15% – distribution of full containers and simultaneous collection of empty containers
• cost savings
• Stable handling in aisles up to 2.5 m wide
• Any car can be uncoupled from the route train
• Traffic volume minimized
• Greater security
• Space savings in the aisles of the production halls of 600 pallet storage spaces
